Questionable Ebay UK seller: agilliamuk

I'll generously begin by suggesting this Ebay seller sells questionable material. Sick of stumbling across their items, all of which don't look quite right (again, perhaps a generous comment) and almost all are coincidentally signed with the same cheap about-to-run-out-of-ink pen. All auctions are conveniently short and private. Not hard to figure this one out.

The 0.99 Jimmy Page sure is a great buy though.

Noticing a similar style, both in autographs (same cheap pen and overall style is consistent) and tactics (0.99 GBP start, one day auctions, all private listings) from these sellers:

mayrafe (though currently does not have many autographs for sale)

I'm sure there are others. I've spotted a few of the same style forgeries from at least a couple other Ebay UK sellers, but they don't seem to be a part of the same scam and may have just purchased from one of the sources above in the past.

Hi Rich, agilliamuk is a non-stop forger and has got away with it for well over a year. packofbonbons I've bought up on here too as with a few others who sell cheap forgeries on 1 day auctions normally.

I've reported all of them to eBay but as usual they do nothing as they profit from the fakes.

So many of bad sellers that we could really make this a full-time job. But the names listed above seem pretty distinctly connected. Maybe others can add more to the list.

It seems quite apparent on eBay UK that those selling fakes tend to sell items only on 24 hour auctions. Janet1457 is another seller who does this, their completed items show things such as a Simon and Garfunkel signed by both for £18 ($30 ish) and Sprinsteen for £12 ($20).

Bucks1000 often changes their name and sells Tiger Woods, Jagger etc for £9.99.

Sadly idiots keep buying this junk so they will keep selling.
